Amazing mazon sbiatti This bottling is from the British wine merchant Avery's. who bought barrels of wine and brought them to England for bottling until the practice was banned. The wine would have been labeled Domaine René Engel in France, but it was under the stewardship of his son Pierre at the time of this bottling. The wines under his reign were quite notable through the 1969 vintage. Pierre fell ill in 1970, and the estate was neglected until Pierre's son Philippe took over after wine school. The vintage was very good in Burgundy, though it is often overlooked because it was such a disaster in Bordeaux, says K&L's Burgundy buyer Keith Wollenberg. In 1999, the critic Clive Coates of the Vine wrote of this wine: "Full, very vigorous colour. Hardly any sign of age. Full, ample and spicy. Fat and Plump. Very good grip. This has length and quality and richness...Yet it has the fat, succulence, intensity and vigour. Fine Plus." — a month ago

Yeah, what a wine. Full ripe tropical fruits, creamy vanilla with a light hint of caramel sweetness. Orange zest bitters. Quite sweet but just enough citrus sour to prevent it from becoming too thick. Mached excellent with the spicy lintal coconut dal for diner. But standalone it is even better. — 4 years ago

Nasty Women of the East Bay do Alsace. This wine, like so many from the region , overdelivers: jasmine, citrus, chalk with grapefruit pith and white pepper on the finish. Apparently a blend of 95% Auxerrois and 5% Pinot Blanc qualifies as a Pinot Blanc?!? The Alsatians rank up there with the Italians for confusing labeling conventions. Enjoyed. — 6 years ago

I got handed this to open and the comment was that most likely it was gone
It was a gift, who knows how kept
However these are the best surprises
Never had a Grand Echezeaux this good and aged. Only Rene Engel left me a better memory — 4 years ago
